I like to play videogames. Did you know I'm utterly insane

@investingidiocy if you look at Scandinavia as an example, high earners face similar marginal rates to the UK. it’s low and middle earners who pay more

[👶🏻🙌🏻 @arthurpostingg]

@investingidiocy low/middle earners in Britain pay a smaller proportion of their income in tax than those in most peer economies, not due to greater inequality, but rather because our tax system is top-heavy by design (relatively large tax-free personal allowance, higher rates on top bands, etc)

So close! This is actually the opposite of the lesson of HS2.

@JonNeale @StillUnsung what’s the source here? looks interesting

@alsemancher_ @MattZeitlin producing a surfeit of power at an inconvenient time, such that it cannot be transported or consumed, is not useful

[👶🏻🙌🏻 @arthurpostingg]

@alsemancher_ @MattZeitlin think of it this way: the best indicator we have that something is useful is that someone is willing to pay for it

new stellaris nomads dlc is quite fun. best playstyle i’ve encountered so far requires taking the civic that lets you abduct pops from enemy planets. following this, you bring them on a crazy tour of the galaxy on your arkship. I call it “Arty’s Wild Ride”

@jo3hill how come? too gimmicky?

[👶🏻🙌🏻 @arthurpostingg]

hating pylons is the kind of problem you have when you don’t have any problems

[👶🏻🙌🏻 @arthurpostingg]

avanti west coast don’t want you to know this but you can play stellaris on the train. if you find an empty four you can bring your mouse and mousepad on the train and just set up shop. they legally can’t stop you

free me from linear regressions, i can’t go on like this. there are too many variables and functions and tests and assumptions. is my regression blue? is it the right specification? is there heteroskedasticity? collinearity? endogeneity? I don’t know. I’ve never known.

i like jordana but i can’t endorse the anti-transit message of her hit song, “jump the turnstile”

[👶🏻🙌🏻 @arthurpostingg]

lowkey what is a wonderwall anyway

[👶🏻🙌🏻 @arthurpostingg]

not a huge fan of that sabrina carpenter song that goes “that boy is corrupt”. It’s a dumb lyric. i have strong doubts that boy has used public office for private gain

This is a natural phenomenon called regulatory capture.

@status_effects @MattZeitlin i hold up my hands, apologies for the slander

[👶🏻🙌🏻 @arthurpostingg]

@status_effects @MattZeitlin words typed by a man who has never had the displeasure of taking an avanti west coast service (39.9% percent “on time” between 2024-2025)

@mszumexx @NondescriptRed @nikicaga and the opinion of individuals or countries which support the argentine claim is immaterial. their motivation is entirely campist, not principles-based

[👶🏻🙌🏻 @arthurpostingg]

@mszumexx @NondescriptRed @nikicaga even worse. argentines butchered and displaced an indigenous population. no such thing happened on the falklands
